Exactly How I felt as a child.

All the characteristics are the same for everyone nor do you have all of them keep listening until you get it.

Good

I think your relatability to this book may be tied to the level of alcoholism your parent may have been at as well as the specific dynamics you had in your family. I related to less than I would have liked, but did find what I did to relate to helpful.

This is a great book if you grew up experiencing alcohol in the home.

What I liked about the book was how the author helped identify some issues I had growing up experiencing alcohol in the home. And while I did not agree with everything in this book,
It helped me identify my issues and learn to take responsibility for my actions as an adult. the performance of this audiobook was very good and very clear.

Very enciteful

My granddaughters are acoa. I have read this book to gain knowledge and understanding of their feelings and their personalities. I am better able to help them get through and cope with their past. With the help of their counselor and the knowledge I gained in this book we are all more prepared to heal and grow. I will purchase this book for them. I feel when they read it they will realize they are not alone. Thank you for writing this book.

Adult child

This book really had me holding on to my heart as I listened. Having grown up with an alcoholic father I knew it really affected my life since I was very very young.
But I am beyond grateful to have heard all the many ways. Also I was astounded at how accurately the author described some of my life circumstances.
This has given me clarity and insight on how to begin my healing and recovering.
Will listen again and highly recommend to anyone who’s close to an alcoholic or close to the child of an alcoholic.
